Polishing a Heap of Rocks! Feeding Montana Agates, Jaspers, & Many More to the Vibratory Flat Lap!

In this one, we pick out a batch of rocks to feed to the vibratory lap! Our results were fantastic and ended up getting a mirror finish! We worked on Montana agates, Petrified Wood, Jasper, Brazilian agate, thunder egg, and plumes and each one took on fantastic qualities after polish! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out soon!

Jeez that thunder egg is KILLER

[@treeismee6062]

My fav is the Amethyst agate. When you set it down for some reason it reminded me of Abe from Oddworld.

[@CrowDragonPirate]

Your geologic pun about being a perfectionist to a fault really made me crack up.

[@Mike-br8vb]

The blue and the thunder egg!

[@leonacrowley164]

They all look so pretty. Your light really reflects off the rocks. Hard to see the beauty of the stone's.

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Love the blue.

[@slmarti22]

I don’t know man, that thunder egg was spectacular.

[@kirsiselei8703]

Anything with blue is my favourite😍❤️❤️just love those rocks, gorgeous🥰

[@FreeformLapidary]

Great video Theo. This makes me want to get my Lortone vibra lap going.

[@wmarian5027]

Thanks for vid! Hooe you are doing well

[@sparkplugs13]

Amazing work! Can you make an instructional video explaining the process? What grits, how much grit, how long to do each stage, etc

[@ronaldhoppus9015]

Awesome rocks! When you setup the first course grit and loaded the rocks, the machine didn't look leveled (rocks and grit wandering to the left side) Wondering if that had any effect on the uneven face on some? No experience yet with this but curious? Thanks for the videos.

[@meanstreet1545]

Beautiful results! You mentioned having to clean some residual grit out in a few pieces, have you tried an ultrasonic cleaner? We’ve had great results using one for this purpose, even cleans dried polish out of cracks and voids from tumbled stones!

[@lisawemple4707]

Beautiful work! Theo, when you say the plates wear out quickly, can you elaborate on how quickly?

[@oliverriggs4535]

Those are beautiful stones that you polished. I especially love the thundering. I was wondering do you still have your store on Etsy? If you do I would love to see some of these stones on your shop page. Thank you for all wonderful videos can’t wait for your other ones thunder egg

[@helgavoorneveld1530]

Omg the rocks came out amazingl!! ❤️ But what happened to the mustache??

[@fadedrose100]

I know you probably have videos about this but I would like to know more about how you can tell those large rocks are going to be agatey inside. Does light always shine through?

[@jforce91]

For science... can you put that black thunder egg under a UV? I get the distinct feeling it might do some funky stuff in the dark areas.

[@carolyncarlson6410]

Wow- They're beautiful! Too bad you can't take the worn plates to a machine shop

[@TMB5BER]

Whoooot

[@Panicagq2]

Nice rocks! Does anyone make a hard flat plate with diamond grit for levelling a worn plate? I flatten sharpening stones that way...

[@tonikeating1287]

Where is your flat lap from
